Not worth getting into a pissing match fellas. Remember, the content of written words are often taken in a way it was not intended to sound. I seriously did not get the impression from Rob's statement that he was coming off like a know-it-all, and he certainly didn't sound like one of...

Welcome Milos.... Your best bet it to get either the W5YI Tech study book from their website, or the ARRL tech study book from their website. Study for an hour a night, depending on how much you may already know about general electronics and radio wave propagation, it may only take you a few...

A Photographic assay on my recent mobile install... As requested, I'm giving our readers a photographic journey through my 2005 Jeep Liberty, and the new re-installation of my mobile 2 meter radio. After removing the Yaesu FT-2800M, and relocating the Metz 2 meter coil loaded antenna, these...

I'm not too concerned about thievery since I rarely go or park in areas that would concern me. Even then it wasn't like they couldn't see the other radio where it was... Heat through the windshield is a concern, and the reason I didn't want to mount the FT-2800 there, but I'm looking to come...

You may find that funny, and it is in it's own weird way, but as a professional fire fighter I loath people like that. Their homes are a disaster waiting to happen, and when the place is on fire, and you have to go in there to locate the fire when it's full of smoke with no visibility, it...

To start with, I wasn't all that happy with the installation of my 2 meter radio in the Jeep Liberty. When I did this my main concern was to "not" drill any holes through the body since this vehicle is only a couple years old. Because of this approach the antenna was mounted up front, low, and...

With the proliferation of export radios, you are bound to get some cross over of CB onto 10 meters, I have yet to hear anything worth complaining about, although I did hear a contact a few weeks back where the one operator politely asked the other to "kindly turn off his roger beep as he was now...

Damn good point.....was concentrating so much on the piss poor shooting that I was blind to that fact.....

One left Doc, and it's in Kalifornia.... Checked KJI Electronics here in Jersey, they got them, but they want the same price that they are getting for the newer ID-880H $479.00...plus sales tax....plus shipping.... Think I'll wait til I sell off my VHF Marine radio, zero out my CC, then...

Since I'm real close to having my credit card completely cleaned, I was going to wait on ordering an Icom ID-800H for myself. Since I've been learning this D-Star thing on the one I got for our OEM, and I already know how to program it, coupled with the fact that HRO has had them on sale for...

Good Stuff Codejockey.......:thumbup: I gotta get busy studying for the Extra, I started right after I passed the General, but got involved in so many other things I haven't cracked that book in months.....:unsure:

With CB radios being as cheap as they are, why push the envelope with modifying a $4,000.00* rig just to get 100 watts on that one band, just doesn't make sense..... * Price based on the new Icom IC-7600 that has a band scope

Now compare it to this shot..... YouTube - one shoot ... 2 deer dead

Seeing the deer stand in the tree right along that (road / trail / path) I would have to assume that it's not a legit "road", but a well manicured dirt trail or path. In New Jersey you can not legally fire a weapon within a certain distance of a legitimately mapped road, do not remember what...

If you decide to just go with a standard high power 2 meter radio, I have a Yeasu FT-2800M that's less than a year old, they sell new for around $130.00, you can have mine for $100.00, and I'll cover the shipping if you live in the continental U.S. I have the box, papers, and all the...

From what I've heard, 14.313 Mhz is fairly quiet these days. The Maritime Mobile Service Net sometimes uses 313 as a secondary frequency when they get a vessel in distress, or when a station makes contact with another station to pass non-priority traffic, they go to 313, other than that I never...

Before passing full critical judgment on the hunter/shooter, I would love to see exactly what rifle & sights he was using. Also depending on the zoom of that particular video camera, I'm going to assume the distance to be no more than 100 yards, and possibly a little less..... At that distance...

That's the problem with buying off eBay Codejockey, you don't know if you are being taken. I have rolled the dice a couple of times and purchased equipment from eBay, and got lucky twice, screwed once. for the most part your best bet is spending the cash, going new, and getting a warrantee with...

Welcome to the zoo CodeJockey......:lol: It's a big world in amateur radio, a lot of different things to occupie your mind and checkbook.....:wink: You'll have plenty of fun, and like Rob said, ask all the questions you have, there's no dumb questions.....just a bunch of dumbies answering...

Never let it be said that I didn't do the least I could do......:biggrin: If you do get something, let me know how it worked out for you.....
